Queen Elizabeth II, 93, is said to be “very upset” by how little she has seen her great-grandson baby Archie since his birth last May.

One royal commentator has claimed Meghan and Harry missed a chance to indulge the Queen and Prince Philip, 98, by letting them spend some time with baby Archie during this latest trip.

Royal expert, Richard Fitzwilliams acknowledged the Duke of Edinburgh may have different world views to Meghan and Harry, but believes he would have liked to have seen Archie nonetheless

Mr Fitzwilliams told Express.co.uk: “His views may be from a different generation, but since he is 99 in June it would have been a charming gesture if Harry and Meghan had brought Archie to see him and the Queen, who, after all, is 94 in April.”
